Thunar, Hide elements on recycle bin

Today I discover a weird issue/bug/attack in the Recycle bin or Trash can. My File manager is Thunar.

My recycle bin only have 3 files but when I see the Properties of the folder (File > Properties) I read 71 elements.

What the hell? I have active `View Hide Files` (Ctrl+H) and always see only 3 files. It is a mystery, please some hints?

OS Specs:

- Debian 10
- Thunar 1.8.4

What do the following return:

gio version
gio info Trash://
gio list Trash:// | wc -l
gio tree Trash://
ls /run/user/$(id -u)/gvfs

Re: Thunar, Hide elements on recycle bin

I think it might be related to this bug. I wonder if gio/gvfs is counting files from other Trash files on your system, but thunar is only showing those from the main local trash. I would suggest creating a bug report to see what the developers say.
